Chapter 3, Problem 4OQ
Entering his dorm room, a student tosses his book bag to the right and upward at an angle of 45° with the horizontal (Fig. OQ3.4). Air resistance does not affect the bag. The bag moves through point Ⓐ immediately after it leaves the student’s hand, through point Ⓑ at the top of its flight, and through point Ⓒ immediately before it lands on the top
bunk bed. (i) Rank the following horizontal and vertical velocity components from the largest to the smallest. (a) vⒶx (b) vⒶy (c) vⒷx (d) vⒷy (e) vⒸy. Note that zero is larger than a negative number. If two quantities are equal, show them as equal in your list. If any quantity is equal to zero, show that fact in your list. (ii) Similarly, rank the following acceleration components. (a) aⒶx (v) aⒶy (c) aⒷx (d) aⒷy (e) aⒸy.

When throwing a ball, your hand releases it at a height of 1.5 m above the ground with velocity 6.8 m/s in direction 57° above the horizontal.
(a) How high above the ground (not your hand) does the ball go?(b) At the highest point, how far is the ball horizontally from the point of release?
A criminal is escaping across a rooftop and runs off the roof horizontally at a speed of 5.1m/s, hoping to land on the roof of an adjacent building. Air resistance is negligible. The e horizontal distance between the two buildings is D, and the roof of the adjacent building is 2.0m below the jumping-off point. Find the maximum value for D.
An item with beginning speed vo is projected from the edge of the
roof of a structure of height H. The object's initial velocity produces
an angle a0 with the horizontal. Don't think about air resistance.
What is the speed of the item shortly before it hits the ground if a0 =
-90 and the object is thrown straight down?
